/home/user/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.8.7-p352/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/completion.rb:10:in `require': no such file to load -- readline (LoadError)
    from /home/user/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.8.7-p352/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/completion.rb:10

    from script/rails:6:in `require'
    from script/rails:6

I know it is too late.

no such file to load -- readline (LoadError)

try adding gem ’rb-readline’ to your Gemfile.)

rvm package has been changed to rvm pkg

It would be nice if the error just told us this! Ugh!

$ rvm uninstall 1.8.7
$ rvm package install readline
$ rvm install 1.8.7 -C –with-readline-dir=$HOME/.rvm/usr
